EJ Manuel returns to practice

[Ed]

According to NFL Network, EJ returned to practice today. Unless he has some kind of significant setback, I think it's pretty much lock at this point that he's going to be the starter against NE week 1.

Go Bills!

Sweet Georgia Brown.

Good sign.

[mayotm]

Wait. Do they even have a team practice today?

[Meathead]

[The King]

Thank ****in christ.

They don't.


This thread is false, the Bills are OFF today.

Good sign, however (and I know this will be very unpopular), we need to let the best man win the starting job. If Tuel has the better practices start him. If its EJ start him. Both are -- in NFL terms -- mostly unkown factors and I think that I could be comfortable with either one. That being said, I hope EJ gets the nod.

It doesn't matter who starts at QB for the Bills.

If Brady starts, we have no chance.

If Mallett starts, we have a chance.

If Tebow starts, I predict we win.

To reiterate, I don't think the Bills practiced today (hope I'm wrong). So not exactly sure why NFL Network is reporting this.

Marrone said in his press conference last night that they had practice today and Saturday and Tuesday are days off.

this has a feel of the tim connolly injury in the ottawa series. "i heard he's walking!" and frankly that timmy probably owuld have been a difference maker. however, can you imagine if EJ comes back and has a real leinart type effort? that would blow.

he's our savior and answer today.
if he flames out on the 8th, the tuel calls will grow louder and we'll really be mired in yet another qb controversy.

Marrone said in his press conference last night that they had practice today and Saturday and Tuesday are days off.We will see, but I find it odd that none of the local media outlets are reporting this.

Agreed that it seems odd, and nfl.com hasn't posted anything about it either. Bummer.

[ParanoidAndroid]

If BB.com doesn't report it via a Chris Brown tweet (at least) I would be skeptical.
